Let's consider a real world company. Like oh I dunno, maybe Coca Cola as a wild anology. Coca Cola does not make bottles or caps or cans. They just buy them and fill them.
So it is unlikely that Nuka Cola made their own bottles and caps.
And even if they did, or even you found the company that made them, the machines would likely not work, and you would have a difficult time finding the metal to make caps.
In fact that is likely the reason why caps are used. They are in limited supply. So they make a good currency. Kind of like gold.
(BTW, given the limited availability of caps I wonder about where all the ammo comes from. Unlike caps ammo is essentially destroyed when used. I know there is a press in one of the DLCs but still.)
